Titans fans, media react to signing of WR Chris Moore

The Tennessee Titans finally added a veteran wide receiver to their room on Wednesday with the signing of Chris Moore, who was reportedly inked to a one-year deal. The financial terms were not disclosed.

A former fourth-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens in 2016, Moore had a career year with the Houston Texans in 2022, reeling in 48 catches for 548 yards and two touchdowns.

However, he posted those numbers on a team that had a barren wasteland at the wide receiver position due to a lack of talent and injuries, a situation Moore’s new team is quite familiar with.

While Moore gives Tennessee some much-needed veteran depth, he’s a No. 4 receiver at best and does nothing to move the needle in terms of the Titans’ need to add two impact receivers behind Treylon Burks.

As you’d expect, the signing wasn’t met with any excitement from Titans fans and media. Tennessee still has a lot of work to do and it continues to look like Tennessee will have to double up at the position in the 2023 NFL draft.

Chris Moore is basically the definition of a replacement level NFL WR. Unfortunately, that represents an upgrade for the #Titans currently, but you sure hope they end up drafting over him and he's relegated to being veteran depth for most of 2023.

This is a slap in the face after that Chris Moore nonsense.

The #Titans could have had a 25 year old with inside/outside versatility and speed.

Instead they take a 30 year old with no speed and no upside.

They don’t get it man. https://t.co/0naFiBY05j

Chris Moore takes zero pressure off the #Titans to find two legitimate pass-game targets in this draft (or from cuts after) and to stop selling you on anything but minimal roles on offense for guys like NWI and Chris Moore.

One last note on the Chris Moore signing: it has absolutely no bearing on the fact that the #Titans need to come away from this draft with at least 1 viable receiver. https://t.co/SO9nn2T9fG

#Titans sign my 17th ranked FA WR Chris Moore.

There is nothing wrong with the thought. 48 catches out of 72 targets. 548 yards. 2 TDs. 3 Drops. YACPR 11.4. 84th out of 113 ranked WRs. (@PFF)

It's the projection. 30 in June. Moderate athlete. Depth signing, but anticlimactic.

Chris Moore had more receiving yards than ANY Titans pass catcher in 2022

Decent signing but more alarming then anything that this position still needs MAJOR talent upgrades https://t.co/Mox7pLFwVm
